Running the App

1. Install Postgres

   See the Postgres Installation Guide. If you're on Mac, Postgress.app is another easy option.

   The default database configuration in config/dev.exs should work (username of postgres, password shouldn't matter).

   If you want to create a new user (role), use the command:

   > createuser -d someUserName --pwprompt
   

   the -d option gives this role database create rights and you will be prompted for a password. After the role has been created, edit the database username and password fields in config/dev.exs file

2. Install dependencies

   phoenix-timeline> mix deps.get
   

3. Create and migrate your database

   phoenix-timeline> mix ecto.create && mix ecto.migrate
   

4. Start the server

   phoenix-timeline> mix phoenix.server
   

5. Install and start the Timeline Ember client as instructed there
